There's so much potential for this if people want to work character based narrative into their war RPs. But no let's just post one liners where we spam numbers. And not even through the perspective of a general, through the perspective of some omnipotent force akin to the player in EU4.
I deeply enjoyed Ralph Peters' Red Army because of the narrative around military staff. It was really fleshed out to show how rivalries among different individuals exist alongside them cooperating and how even well-laid out plans fumble...or conversely, how things going too well can lead to overwork and strain morale and thinking abilities.
It was definitely more intriguing than portraying the Russians as cardboard cutout villains...I guess...
Not sure how that goes in NS military RPs though. I steer clear of those because of the complaints here and because my RP skills are rusty AF.
